Sheffield Wednesday: Helan joins Wolves on loan

Dom Howson

Jeremy Helan has joined Championship rivals Wolves on loan until the end of the season.

The Frenchman has struggled to command a regular first-team spot, making just eight starts since Carlos Carvalhal’s appointment last summer. Fourteen of the left-sided player’s 22 appearances have come as a substitute.

The 23-year-old, captured on a permanent basis by Wednesday in 2013 following a productive loan spell, could make his Wolves debut against Derby County on Saturday.

Wolves have failed to win any of their last seven matches and Tuesday’s defeat to Brentford has left them languishing in 15th spot in the standings, 14 points off the play-off spots.
